If they want to vote against Gorsuch, that is their right. However, the American people knew that the Supreme Court was on the line in 2016, and they voted for Trump.

That vote gives him the right to nominate whomever he wants to the Supreme Court, and he has chosen Gorsuch. The Democrats’ filibuster won’t change anything. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is almost certain to use the “nuclear option” to get rid of the filibuster when it comes to Supreme Court nominations, and Gorsuch will be confirmed.

The Democrats are ultimately going to come to regret his filibuster — especially if Trump only needs 51 votes to fill the seat of one of the liberal justices on the court later in his term.
